To make
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often for 3-4 minutes, until very soft.
Add carrots, celery, zucchini, potato and chilli flakes. Cook, stirring for 4-5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in stock, sage and tomatoes. Cover and bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30-35 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Stir in cavolo nero or kale and beans and simmer for 5 minutes or until leaves are tender.
Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with crusty sourdough and a generous sprinkle of parmesan.
